The project involves construction of a vehicular and pedestrian bridge spanning the San Diego River from north to south. The design and construction of the approach roadways and bridge would comply with applicable City of San Diego, County of San Diego, and California Department of Transportation design standards, as well as American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials guidelines. The design for the bridge is a conventional prestressed concrete girder structure. The bridge will be approximately 450 feet long, 58 feet wide, and 5.5 feet deep and will consist of four spans. The spans will be supported on concrete seat-type abutments in the river embankments at each end and three piers within the river channel, each consisting of two approximately 20-foot-tall, 5-foot-diameter circular concrete columns.
